Clay's Hope is a historic home in Bellevue, Talbot County, Maryland, United States. It is a 2 1⁄2-story, 3-bay Flemish bond brick house with the gable roof, built around 1783. Also standing on the property is an array of outbuildings including the last known tobacco house to survive in Talbot County; a frame structure built around 1800. Other structures include a smokehouse-like frame structure built as an implement storage building and an early-19th-century gable-roofed structure with built-in seats that has been converted into a gazebo. A small Harrison family cemetery is also on the property.
Clay's Hope was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Famous quotes containing the words clay and/or hope:
“And here the precious dust is layd;
Whose purely temper’d Clay was made
So fine, that it the guest betray’d.
Else the soule grew so fast within,
It broke the outward shell of sinne,
And so was hatch’d a Cherubin.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
“Pale hands I love beside the Shalimar,
Where are you now? Who lies beneath your spell?”
—Laurence Hope (1865–1904)
